Replaceable fair use File:Glass' Creek original route.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Glass' Creek original route.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ron h jones (Talk) 01:39, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Moving Glass' Creek article to Glass Creek
I have moved the Glass' Creek article to Glass Creek, as this is the name used in the VICNAMES database. The convention for Australian place names is to drop the possessive apostrophe. Billingd (talk) 09:29, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help with the article, although I've been unable to find any entry in VICNAMES of the creek. The few sources that I've found mostly use the apostrophe (e.g. http://home.vicnet.net.au/~balwynhs/newsletters/letters/news_dec.pdf and https://minerva-access.unimelb.edu.au/handle/11343/37410). If some light could be shed on it that would be great. Takerlamar (talk) 14:02, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

File source problem with File:North Balwyn Wildlife Sanctuary.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:North Balwyn Wildlife Sanctuary.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for October 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Transport in Melbourne, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metro ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Transport_in_Melbourne check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Transport_in_Melbourne?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fanis Spanos


A tag has been placed on Fanis Spanos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
